Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan was pleased to see the long-awaited opening of the revamped Guyra stock selling centre.
The previous NSW Coalition Government contributed $5 million in funding in 2020, with an additional $4.7 million from the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund in 2024, to overhaul both the Armidale and Guyra saleyards.
Mr Moylan joined members of Armidale Regional Council and Minister for Agriculture Tara Moriarity in unveiling the new infrastructure at Guyra.
The $6.6 million allocation to the facility at Guyra saw the installation of 303 steel selling yards, the electronic identification (eID) system, three B-double ramps, expanded amenities, stock water troughs and other equipment which will make for a more efficient sale process.
“The Guyra saleyards are a central point for sheep sales within our region with thousands of animals moved through every week,” Mr Moylan said.
“It is no secret the Northern Tablelands produces some of the best livestock in the country and the sale facilities need to be up to standard to accommodate that.
“In the last few years alone, sales have gone from fortnightly to weekly with boom seasons across the Northern Tablelands.
“It is great to see a bloody good set of yards in Guyra which will benefit the local economy.”
